Risotto is the simplest meal to make and there are so many wonderful variations to the basic recipe. Please do not be put off having a go at making this dish , follow the steps and do not complicate the simplicity of the dish .
Once you plate up this beautiful dish , you will be searching your recipe books for other risottos to make. My favourite is a traditional Italian savoury lemon risotto, the Greeks call it Risotto Avgolmono .
Tonight at Castle Garden I made and we had Chicken and Spinach Risotto
Slice 6 chicken thighs into small pieces...set aside.
In a large pan saute the sliced green rings of 6 spring onions, a sliced clove of garlic, and of course a chopped small red chilli in a little rice bran oil,
Add the chicken pieces....let the chicken slightly colour
Add 4 grated tomatoes and 1 cup of arborio rice , stir well making sure rice is well coated.
Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock ( commercial stock is OK ) and one cup of chopped spinach
Simmer till chicken and rice is cooked and stock is all absorbed , I stir my risotto occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped parsley..
Enjoy..
We loved it !!!
